I’ve certainly enjoyed staying at Ravenwood. The staff are very cheerful and have an excellent attitude. I have been pleased with all of your services. If I have a problem in the future that required a nursing home stay, I would choose to return to Ravenwood.

I am glad (my brother) had that time at the nursing home in Fonda. He was sober, clean and decent, well cared for and I think, mostly content. Of course, he was very confused the entire time, but the better side of his personality came out. He was liked by the staff and got along well with residents. I had some good visists with hime while he was there. When he suddenly failed that Sunday, I asked that (the staff) keep him at the home. The staff were so good to him and to me. They had someone sitting by his bedside the entire day, playing music and talking with him. When he was close to passing, they called and held the phone so I could tell him good-bye...He had such a better ending to his life than I would ever have imagined. It all seems such a blessing.

There was not a card we could find to truly express the endless gratitude we have for you all. This has been a very tough year for our family members and you all have been by their sides when we were unable. Thank you for being Mom's family.

Thank you so much for the help & guidance you all gave our family. You were so much help during a time that we were all stressed. You went beyond what strictly would be the job.

You have some really great workers, staff and administration in this facility. During my seven month stay, I enjoyed excellent care, good food and some pretty decent therapy as well.

I wanted to let you know how much we appreciated the special attention and care given to my wife during her stay in rehab and hospice. Suzie became my wife's favorite nurse. She promised to visit her in Hospice and she kept that promise. She brightened my wife's day with every visit. Suzie's professionalism and tender care brought great comfort to my wife and the rest of us.
